January 1, 2026 - Vangelis - La petite fille de la mer (1970/1973)



In English "The little girl of the sea", recorded in 1970 but released in 1973, this is one of the most hauntingly beautiful pieces of music that one could ever be. I sat outside in the late afternoon a few years back, watching the sun sparkling on the ocean and this cosmic lullaby appeared and cradled me in a gentle bed of melancholy and reflection that stretched out into various thoughts and feelings over the span of six minutes. It was one of those highly personal trips, like where everything is aligned and you just enjoy it while it lasts. Vangelis was 26 or 27 and he was able to access the emotional spectrum of the universe at this age? I talked about his theme from Cosmos.  He really got out there. So trippy. Even that dang over the top Chariots of Fire piece makes me tilt my head. Future music dropping out in the 1924 Olympics. 

Happy new year to the planet. We are all one. Be ye circle, to quote Jon Anderson of Yes. He hung out with Vangelis, they did some albums.

Well, peace to you all. and fun and love and kindness and easy pleasant times and elephants and music. I plan to post many more groovy instrumentals and other sounds hereafter. thanks for reading and listening!
